Splinters and Stones

FateHolds nothing on the providence I knowNo longer bound to things of wood and stoneWhen all I had to offer was my worstYou saw my heavy heart and loved me first

Your beauty staring down my brokennessYou chose to throw Your heart into the messCompassion crashing down upon my debt You were there

All this timeLike a river running through my failureYou carried me all this timeLike the splinters buried inYour shoulders You carry me now

HallelujahIf ever now my heart cries hallelujahIf ever now in the wonder of Your graceA thousand times a thousand years my soulWill say

GraceYou saw the crushing weight my flesh deservedYou kneeled and wrote forgiveness in the dirtAnd one by one the stones fell where they layAs one by one my accusers walked awayWith nothing left to throw they made a crossAnd knowing only love could count the costYou were there

All this timeLike a river running through my failureYou carried me all this timeLike the splinters buried inYour shoulders Your love carried all my shameJesus how my soul will praise YouYou carried me all this wayLike a diamond in the scars uponYour crown You carry me now

HallelujahIf ever now my heart cries hallelujahIf ever now in the wonder of Your graceA thousand times a thousand yearsMy soul will sayHallelujahForever now in the greatness of my SaviourForever now in the brightness ofYour Name Jesus on this rock I?ll sing Your praise
